Super El Niño to last until 2027: Key climate risks ahead

bjnews.com.cn (Chinese)

A super El Niño event is expected to form by late 2026 and influence global climate until summer 2027, potentially becoming the strongest on record. China faces a complex period of multiple climate risks. The event will likely cause more rain in southern China this winter and significant flooding in the Yangtze River basin by summer 2027. It has already contributed to abnormal summer rainfall patterns and active typhoons in 2026. Authorities recommend strengthening flood defenses, power grid resilience, and disaster preparedness. They also warn of potential impacts on agriculture, infrastructure, and supply chains, while noting that El Niño's effects vary by region and season.
